On the 17th, a Spanish Soldier came in, w;10 related that he had been made prisoner by fte irriench. He had a packet directed to the Admi 7 wpi , ,trators-of Saragossa, which purported the it Wilt; put into his hands by the French _General, LE FEBVRE, in order to be laid before the Most Excel lent; the Captain General of this Kil;gdom. The same Soldier who brought the packet, brought with, bhp many seditious proclamations pointedin Bay onne, in the Castilian tongue, which ,Were entrusted him by the French 'General. It was resorted by the Viceroy bt this city, and by the Kittg's Coun cillors and Assistants, assembled, that the note'should be' sent back unopened. The .followin g reply was the consequence, which has passed with the Mani ‘festo' of BELLAY; and the proclamation published aptherday, has passed this day to the Enemy's Camp by the hands pf .Lieutenant-Colonel DON IVIANuEL lla ENA. The following is a literal COfiy :- 1%; " Head-Quarters, Saragossa 08th - lime, 1808 " MUST EXCELLENT SIGNOR, " If his Majesty the Emperor ordered yod to re establish the tranquillity which this . country has lost, it is to little purpose that you. take, this trouble. It is my duty to answer to the confidence which the brave people of Arragon had placed in me, draw ing 'me from the retreat in which I was, to 'place its guardianship in my hands. It is at . .least clear,, that I ought not to be led astray by a Spaniard 'hitherto so delusive. My sword guards the gates of the capital, and my honour answers for its security. It was unnecessary then to give too much import ance to this private affair. The troops which suffer ed on the 15th and 16th should not again be brought' into trouble. Let thine be at proper hoUrS quiet in their beds, a's I will be at my own hazard: Vat train being appeased, the indignation of the Spa niards at the excesses of the .French is every day . increasing. It is l - nown that the spies you pticl are tuTfaithful. A great part of Catalonia has plated itself under my command; with no less a portioh of Castile. The Captains General of Catalonia and 'Valencia are united with me. Galicia, Estrania dura, Asturias, and the four Kingdoms of Andalusia, are also resolved to avenge their oppressions. The French troops commit atrocities unworthy of men ; they plunder, insult, and kill with impunity the hourst inhabitants who have done them no evil ; t hey have. outraged religion, acid mutililted the sacred images in a' mannerunheard of. Neither this con duct, nor the tone which you hold since the days of the iath or IGth, is proper. tolatisly a valiant people. You will do what your can I will do what I ought to do. " The General of the Troops of Arragon t " JOSEF DE PALAS'OX Y MELGI." i In consequence of .the excesses committed by the French troops, it is ordered that, with the ex ception of their arms and horses, the proierty taken on them shall be Fize.
